Lillah and charity

Q: Alhamdulilliah I am employed and in addition to my annual zakaat I make a point of giving away at least 10 percent of my money in additional sadaqah. However I am a bit confused at this point. I would like to start saving more than I currently  in order to get married and go for haj Inshallah. I know that sadaqah does not decrease wealth.

Should I continue to give the same amount as sadaqah or should I decrease a bit in order to increase my savings for these sorts of things.

Q: I want to give charity, what if I don't have money. What should I do in such a situation?

Q: The Islamic Medical Association runs clinics in poor areas around Durban, where the Govt has no services for these people.  Funds are running out as more and more medicines are needed to help people.  So far no other money except those given as lillah by the muslim community has been used. Can a Muslim organization, in this case the Islamic Medical Association accept funds or donations from Multinational Pharmaceutical Companies to do its work in servicing the medical needs of the indigent population?  

Q: Can a Muslim Organization that is involved with disasters, eg., floods, fires, earthquakes, etc. use funds from haraam sources to do its work?  For instance, can they use funds donated to them from a Pop concert, or a financial institution dealing in interest related transactions like Investec?  What if the donations are not separated from the “halaal” moneys given to them by muslims and all donations are pooled together?  In most cases, the organization does not know where the funds are coming from.  The funds are deposited directly into their bank account, unless an organization like Investec tells them that funds are being transferred into their account.

Q: Is it permissible to collect money for deeni organisations and institutes, etc. from people or companies that are dealing (giving and earning) in interest. If it is permissible, then what are the boundaries and limits when collecting from such people?

Q: A fundraiser for a pipeline in gaza was held. People donated different things. After the fund raiser a few paper cups etc. remained. Can this be used towards another Deeni project or given to the poor locally.
